Universal History
Produced Helvetia motorcycles prior to making the Universal brand machines
with
JAP, Python,
Anzani
and
Ilo engines, among others. They also used their
own sidevalve engines of 676cc & 990cc in motorcycles made for the
Swiss army. After WWII they produced a BMW-like flat twin of 578cc along
with a shaft-driven 250cc single.
Rabeneick used Universal 250 engines in
the 1960s.

Any information
Rabeneick (Universal) Universal 250cc
I have come across a Swiss Universal 250cc (model Junior?) which is
aparently the same as The 1955 Rabeneick Universal. Any information
is highly appreciated.

..........
The Universal (Swiss) and the Rabeneick (German) 250 cc motor cycles
were quite similar designs and equipped with the Universal motor. I attach
a photo of the Universal version. By accident I found a picture of the
Rabeneick version in Hugo Wilson's "The Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle".

....... The motorcycle Universal 600 cc., of origin Switzerland, and
of the year 1950, it is working perfectly and she came equipped with that
sidecar that I restored to be outside of the motorcycle about 30 years.
The price of her is of u$s 7000 (dollars).
The motorcycles have documentation to export.
I will thank him to publish these motorcycles. That you have a good
day. Greetings, Marcelo from Argentina.

message: I purchased a 1955 Swiss Universal motorcycle back in 1972.
It was a mirror image of a BMW R50/2. The front engine cover was stamped
aluminum - not cast aluminum. It came with a manual that was in 4 languages
(I believe it had german, french, italian and spanish), none of which was
english. I have not been able to find any information on this type of motorcycle
since I sold it to help pay for collage. Have you heard of it or have any
information about this type of motorcycle?
Thank you.
